How does the cushioning technology work?

Can I use these shoes for speed work or racing?

While they offer comfort, their primary focus is on maximum cushioning for training. Runners seeking a more responsive feel for speed work or racing might prefer a different model, though they can be used for comfortable, steady-paced efforts.

Troubleshooting

Reduced cushioning after significant use

The cushioning compounds, like FF BLAST PLUS + and PureGEL, naturally degrade over time and mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles (480-800 km) of use, depending on running style and terrain.

Discomfort or blisters

Ensure the shoes are the correct size and width. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to better secure your foot. If discomfort persists, they may not be the right model for your foot type or running style.

Upper material feels too warm

While designed for breathability, individual foot temperature can vary. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. For extreme heat, consider running during cooler parts of the day.
